We loved the Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba at Disney World last fall so we could not miss the traveling show Alegria, now in Dubai. We decided to make a nice weekend of it and spend the night, also. Our hotel room was unbelievable. We were expecting a room with a bathroom and maybe a view. What we got was a whole full size apartment with 2 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a full kitchen, formal dining and living room. And that doesn't even count the massive foyer and laundry room.
The show was set up at a Dubai mall. Ibn Battuta was a 14th century Moroccan scholar and great explorer (he traveled even farther than Marco Polo). So naturally, Dubai has a theme mall to commemorate this legendary traveler. The mall's six courts reflect the architecture of each region he explored – Andalusia, Tunisia, Egypt, Persia, India and China. It was a real trip!
The show was, as always, unique-if just a bit too long. But I think we should see them all before we pass judgement. Wonder just how many shows there are...
